When forming a project team, there are a number of phases. When a project team is productive and effective this phase is known as which of the following?

The 'Forming' stage is the initial phase where team members are introduced, and objectives are set, often marked by politeness and uncertainty, not high productivity.

The 'Norming' stage involves establishing rules, roles, and relationships, resolving initial conflicts, and developing a sense of unity, but it precedes the optimal productivity of the performing stage.

The 'Performing' stage is the peak phase in Tuckman's model, characterized by a highly cohesive and independent team that is focused on problem-solving and achieving project goals efficiently. Team members are competent, autonomous, and capable of handling disagreements constructively.

The 'Storming' stage is characterized by conflict, resistance to group influence, and challenges to leadership as team members assert their individuality and vie for status.
